Notes application on steroids, 99.99% of time functionality other than that is a timewaste, like building those Zettelkasten kind of things, its just stacking things on top of each other to forget about them


Do you feel like you’re absorbing stuff? I mean, stuff like podcasts, sure, but anything other than a fun chatter, like an audiobook, is completely lost on me. I thought away too easily


Yeah sounds good. It always gets messy when I try to force myself into something


There’s so many things to get hooked to other than cigarettes. Or maybe not so many, but for me at least that’s nice food, sometimes sugar, coffee, tea that I like or any other activity not related to ingesting something, maybe writing, reading, whatever. I feel like this kind of addiction is not worth it however beneficial it might seem at first


Following on things that interest you without getting burnt out
Hi. I wonder how do you keep following through on your ideas/goals/topics that you want to research (in specific field or some niche idea/interest) and not burn out/get bored and forget about them altogether? I've found I often don't have enough time to spend on an interest right away, and then I put it in my todo list/special folder in obsidian to check on later (article, wikipedia page, a video, movie or a book), and then it just sits there. When I open the list I start to think that I need to fix this pile of stocks and start going one by one on them, but by that time they are no longer an interest to me. Say I got interested in researching history of WWII and Nazi regime because I watched a movie/read a book about that. Then, I just go on to the internet to find out more about it. At the moment I'm thinking "I dont have enough time for all that", so I just get some books, articles, videos about it and stuck it in a file named "to research". Later on, I'm terrified of even looking at that file, it seems large, and when I open it, I'm bored from second one because I "forced" myself to do this, instead of flowing inside of it, like I did with the movie. I guess being dilligent is very hard for me. I feel like the problem mainly lies in my "fear of time" more than a spurred attention span. But I'm thinking about how can I keep up with irl things like work/chores/whatever while tagging myself with hobbies instead of being either too chaotic or too "formal" without any interest left behind? How do you do that?
